Having owned my Seat Ibiza Cupra Sport GTi 8v from new I can say I have never been disappointed in the car. It's been bombproof and reliable. My only concern is for my lifestyle (I own a horse) the boot is just too small, I can fit my saddle it, but then that's half the boot space gone). Though it's been a small price to pay for such a fabulous little car. In "natural copper" it certainly stands out from the crowd and few of my friends fail to spot me driving ! There is quite a bit of torque steer when accelerating enthusiastically, but nothing too nasty and to be expected when there's a 2 litre engine sitting in what is basically a VW polo chassis!
Running costs have been low, 120,000 miles on and I still have the original clutch, alternator and starter, it's had one battery since new and always starts at the first turn of the key.
Great value for a fun hot hatch that has reliability in spades :)
